Translation and Culture: Bucknell Review ReviewMy interest in the problem of translation begins with a personal inadequacy of social/cultural origins. I grew up in northern New Mexico attending public high school when speaking Spanish in school was contrary to policy. In my community I was a gringo among 80% Spanish speakers. That opportunity to become fluently bilingual was not open to me. As an adult I studied German which led to focus on the English structures which I had taken for granted. Later I studied Spanish and became an adequate reader. Walter Benjamin, in "The Task of the Translator," was my first guide to the process of translating experience into words and words across languages. It turns out that Benjamin's essay frequently comes up in discussions of this topic.
Benjamin has been in the back of my mind as I've considered problems of interpretation and translation between English, Cheyenne and Lakota from c. 1850 on. In her CRAZY HORSE Mari Sandoz mentions at least eighteen French-American traders with native wives and their children. This group provided the linguistic bridges. Of the nineteenth century officers it appears that General George Crook was significantly aware of linguistic matters. Indeed John Bourke (ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK) was on his staff serving in an anthropological role. In Faull's Introduction she discusses Friedrich Schleiermacher's ON THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TRANSLATION published in 1813. He systematically examined both interpretation and translation. He remarked, "Either the translator leaves the author as much as possible in peace and moves the reader towards him or he leaves the reader in peace and moves the author towards him."
Perhaps Bourke was aware of Schleiermacher. The issues he raises were as central to the conflict between the U.S. military and Native Americans as they are in the present circumstances in Iraq and Afghanistan. The essays collected by Faull are a guide to the problems at hand. Osman Durrani discusses the various translations of Robert Schneider's SCHLAFES BRUDER (BROTHER OF SLEEP). The novel takes place in the Austrian mountains. A dialect is involved. The story is challenging for the German reader. It was translated into several languages including English, Spanish and Italian. The Italian version became a best seller. The translator left the Italian readers in peace. Ina Pfitzner provides a portrait of the official translation processes in the European Union. There is always this issue: What is the relationship between what is said and what is heard? Jill Scott, in her discussion of myth, remarks, "It is the recovery of the original trauma that becomes the cure for the disorder. Freud labels this process a translation: `Repression is the clinical term we use for failed translation.'"
TRANSLATION AND CULTURE is a resource across the curriculum.
